====== Apache mod_fcgid ======

  * [[Apache]]

''mod_fcgid'' is the Fast CGI module from Apache.  It can be used to run CGI programs, such as ''php-fpm'' or ''php-cgi''.  It is not included with Apache, and must be downloaded and installed separately.

The program uses ''apxs'' to find the Apache build system configuration.  You can override the default location of the program with the ''APXS'' environment variable:

<code>
APXS=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs ./configure.apxs
</code>

Build and installation is simple:

<code>
./configure.apxs
make
make install
</code>

==== OS X ====

When building ''mod_fcgid'' against the native installation of Apache, the link for the gcc compiler has changed, and a symlink will need to be made.  I haven't found any way to be able to override the values set by apxs, so this will have to do:

<code>
ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.9.xctoolchain
</code>
